Quantum technology is an emerging cutting-edge field which offers a new paradigm for computation and research in the field of physics, mathematics and other scientific disciplines. This technology is of strategic importance to governments globally and heavy investments and budgets are being sanctioned to gain competitive advantage in terms of military, space and education. Due to this, it is important to understand the educational and research needs required to implement this technology at a large scale. Here, we propose a novel universal quantum technology master's curriculum which comprises a balance between quantum hardware and software skills to enhance the employability of professionals thereby reducing the skill shortage faced by the academic institutions and organizations today. The proposed curriculum holds the potential to revolutionize the quantum education ecosystem by reducing the pressure of hiring PhDs faced by startups and promoting the growth of a balanced scientific mindset in quantum research.
